Hit or Miss? Part II

Hey everyone, this is Carol.  I just wanted to share my favorite looks from the Met Gala last night, as well as the ones that made me cringe...

Hit:

Kirsten Dunst in Rodarte for Gap
Another amazing creation by the ladies of Rodarte!  This dress is so pleasantly unconventional, and the detailing is absolutely gorgeous.  Kristen looks like an angel...hah, I'm obsessed with this

Blake Lively in Marchesa

Although I'm never a fan of this girl's hair (it's so pretty, she should be workin' it, not slicking it back!), I have to say she rocked this dress!  It's a work of art on its own, and Blake's long legs add that extra bit of oomph to the whole look.  And the color of this dress is gorgeous! 

Vera Wang and Mila Kunis in Vera Wang

Oh Vera, you've done it again.  You've managed to create a beautiful mess.  Seriously, who else can make a dress so busy look so gorgeous?!  Mila looks absolutely stunning and Vera herself is as sophisticated and sexy as ever.  Miss Wang, you are a genius :)

Miss:

Eva Mendes in Dolce & Gabbana

Ok, I'm usually partial to anything Dolce, but this is atrocious!  I'm all for florals, but I think this dress is over the top- in a bad way.  Had the fabric been plain, I think she would've rocked this dress!

Rosario Dawson in Giambattista Valli

Dis-ast-er.  Seriously, this is like a five years old's Halloween costume.  The top and bottom are not at all cohesive, and it does nothing good for her body. 

Elizabeth Banks in Gucci

From the mismatched lace on the dress and tights to the tacky feathers, this look just screams overkill. There is just too much going on here.  I think the only good part of this look is the shoes.

Let me know what you guys think!

Hit or Miss? Met Gala 2010

Met Gala 2010
Hit or Miss
By Abby

                Let’s get right to it. This year’s Met Gala Theme was…..”American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity” (what ever that means). Just because the theme sounds a bit boring, it does not mean the ladies did not dress to…I guess impress? So here’s some looks and whether or not I think they were hits or misses (I hope that paragraph made sense…I had a looooong day at school).

Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad
Hit
                Oh JLO how I love your recent red carpet choices. Your fashion seemed a bit strange for awhile but now you are back and glamorous!! This dress fits her perfectly and she looks stunning! I cannot imagine how long it took to make that dress. I think I’d go crazy if I had to sew on all those crystals!

Katy Perry in Cute Circuit
Miss
                I don’t know if she’s trying to match up with Lady Gaga or what, but that dress is weird!! Her fashion is usually slightly eccentric but with a cute retro vibe: This one, not so much. I do give her props for being able to wear a dress with electricity running through it but still…weirdness. The necklace isn’t helping either.


Sienna Miller in Pucci
Miss
                This just isn’t working for me. It’s so messy and unfinished (sometimes unfinished looks chic but not in this case). She herself is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, but that dress is so distracting and well…ugly.

Anne Hathaway in Valentino
Hit
                Purely amazing. It compliments her fair complexion, fits her amazingly, and you can tell that she absolutely loves it! The only, only, only, only con is that it looks a bit like the dress that Rachel Zoe dressed her in for an Academy Awards performance a few years back. But it’s still AHMAZING.


Rachel Zoe in Marc Jacobs
Miss
Dear Rachel Zoe,
I usually enjoy your style and the looks you pick for celebs. But it seems to me that when ever you look sickish, you can’t dress yourself. Please let Brad help you find a dress that fits.
Your adoring fan,
Abby S


ALSOOOOO I have a new blog (my personal blog) So check it out abbystaffieriblog.blogspot.com



So those are some hits and misses...look for Carol and Andrea's posts coming soon!

Love,
Abby
